Carrington

type

Movie

At first glance, you might think it’s impossible to find two movies more diametrically opposed than Carrington and Leaving Las Vegas. One’s tea and crumpets; the other’s booze and doughnuts. One centers on the artists and British bons vivants of Bloomsbury; the other swirls around the drunks, hookers, and lowlifes of the Strip. Upon closer inspection, however, it turns out that Carrington and Leaving Las Vegas are actually the same movie. Follow the plots—and marvel at the spooky similarities.
